Correct Answer: 450
Solution :
Given:
In an examination, A got 25% more marks than B, B got 10% less than C and C got 25% more than D.
D got 320 marks out of 500.
The mark obtained by C = (320 + 25% of 320) = 320 + 80 = 400
The mark obtained by B = (400 – 10% of 400) = 400 – 40 = 360
$\therefore$ The mark obtained by A = (360 + 25% of 360) = 360 + 90 = 450
Hence, the correct answer is 450.
